Rainy refractions

I’ve returned safely from the New Zealand winter and am back in the Nebraska summer. It’s quite a change, as I knew it would be. Usually my travels there have been the reverse, to escape the Nebraska winter. It was a very good trip, short though it was, and with much family activity. I had very good luck with the weather, as the norm is heavily overcast, chilly, rainy, and very windy. I’ve brought you a couple of posts that I made during the nice days, so I’d like to bring you one more from a more typical day. I made this from Batty’s house just a few days ago, looking out at the foliage that flanks her deck. I’ve applied no filters here; the distortion you see is all natural, the details of the foliage having been simply refracted from the heavy rain pouring down the glass door.
